Austin Joyner had the best day, forcing a turnover and flying around and making plays. After being beaten by Jordan Chin down the field for a big completion, Joyner stripped the ball and Jojo McIntosh, who was trailing the play, grabbed the ball out of the air. Jimmy Lake praised Joyner for finishing the play and not giving up after he was beaten. Joyner also brought the attitude, giving freshman wideout Marquis Spiker a "love tap" and setting the tone in the secondary.
Please God let him be the starting Nickel
Greg Gaines and Jaylen Johnson are both are quietly spectacular players, but Levi Onwuzurike has been an absolute beast in the first two practices. Today, the third-year sophomore was in the offensive backfield quite a bit, forcing a couple of runs to be bottled up and he also got in to pressure Jake Browning and make the senior quarterback throw the ball away. Later in practice, Onwuzurike got in for a sack on Jake Haener. What makes this group special though is the depth that could potentially start to form. Shane Bowman has had two solid practices and the freshmen -- Tuli Letuligasenoa, Sam Taimani, Draco Bynum and Mosiah Nasili-Liu -- all look like they could press for playing time as they continue to progress.
Gaines, Jaylen, and Levi will be incredible. Mosiah continues to look like a physical freak, and holds 300 lbs so easy
The young wideouts have started to step up. Ty Jones had his best practice as a Husky, getting open regularly and making a couple of plays down the field. Also, Marquis Spiker and Austin Joyner had big receptions down the sideline and Trey Lowe made a great catch over the middle for a first down that extended a drive. Washington has lost its best receiver each of the last two seasons to graduation and with Chico McClatcher still coming back from a leg injury, there's playing time to be had. Jones seems to be stepping up in the first two days of camp and while Spiker, Lowe and Osborne still have yet to play in a game, they have shown the playmaking abilities that made the coaches pursue them on the recruiting trail.
Happy to see Jones, Spiker, Osborne, and Lowe are getting love, but sad that they are all behind Fuller, Baccellia, and Pounds
Linebacker pairings are starting to form and it was interesting to watch freshmen MJ Tafisi and Jackson Sirmon each get several reps with the third unit. There is no question the starters will be Ben Burr-Kirven and Tevis Bartlett, but after those two, there's a lot of mixing and matching going on. DJ Beavers looks fit and ready to reclaim his spot as the primary backup at WIL, but Brandon Wellington and Kyler Manu are still trying feel their way inside. At the SAM position, Amandre Williams has been taking most of the reps with the first team and Ariel Ngata has started to flash his immense potential.
MJ and Jack, like, give me a total boner. Excited to hear Amandre is taking hold of SAM and that Ngata is finally healthy enough to get reps (call your brother please)
Bush Hamdan really likes the quarterback room and how they are going about their business. With Browning and Haener, Jacob Eason, Colson Yankoff and Jacob Sirmon all in the fold, there's a lot of talent to keep happy, but the first-year offensive coordinator said he thinks everyone is focused on their one goal -- winning -- and not focused on the battles going on for reps and playing time. Browning actually coaches up both Haener and Eason when the youngsters are taking reps and Haener has done a lot of coaching with the two freshmen as well. It won't really start to be a focus until after the season, but the battle between the four remaining signal-callers once Browning leaves will be very interesting to watch and building that camaraderie and family atmosphere will be a huge key in keeping the egos in check and continuing to move things forward.
This is complete bullshit as we have heard from Browning's own interviews

You're doing god's work here. Thank you. Biggest development to me is Amandre starting at SAM. He arrived with a lot of fanfare and we'll need him playing well, and soon.

To be fair, this is straight copypasta, and I already edited a handful of mistakes. Can’t catch all of Ektards errors.Gwad said:Austin

He didn’t know how to spell a handful of names, the word recruiting, or the word comaraderie. -
It was never on you. Grateful for your stewardship.

You left out my two favorite updates for day 2.
Matt james took all the RG reps with both the first and second string offense.
And although bowman is with the first string defense. It's a new diet and a new attistude. Everyone is talking about the difference between Benning 2018 and benning 2017. He looks atleast 10 times better. -
From Caple:
Kickers Peyton Henry and Van Soderberg each made an attempt from what looked like somewhere in the 30-35-yard range early in practice, but things didn’t go as well toward the end. Henry missed both of his attempts from 35 yards at the end of practice — one each from the left and right hash — and Soderberg made his try from the right hash but missed from the left. Freshman kicker Dylan Williams, however, made both of his attempts. -
I first read that as "Day Two Tits". Imagine my disappointment.
